اِنْ یَّدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اِنٰثًا ۚ وَاِنْ یَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَّا شَیْطٰنًا مَّرِیْدًا ۟ۙ

In yadAAoona min doonihi illa inathanwa-in yadAAoona illa shaytanan mareeda

Saheeh International

They call upon instead of Him none but female [deities], and they [actually] call upon none but a rebellious Satan,

Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir

Instead of Allah, the idolators in Makkah worship female idols which were named with feminine names, such as al-Lāt and al-‘Uzzā, which can neither benefit nor harm anyone. In reality, they only worship Satan, who rebelled and sinned against his Lord, as he is the one who instructed them to worship the idols.
